Controversial shock-jock Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie, Watchmen) has been kicked-off the Big City airwaves and is now the early morning host at small-town CLSY Radio in sleepy Pontypool, Ontario. What begins as another boring day of school bus cancellations quickly turns deadly when reports start piling in of people developing strange speech patterns and committing horrendous acts. But there’s nothing coming in on the news wires. Is this really happening? Before long, Grant and the station staff find themselves trapped as they discover the insane behaviour taking over the town is actually a deadly virus spread through language itself. Do they stay on air in hope of being rescued or are they providing the virus with its ultimate leap over the airwaves and beyond?
